I am just a couple of weeks into working on what has been for me a magic move, i.e., getting the right forearm on plane at address and then keying on a relatively vertical right forearm at the top. When I do these two things, I hit the ball higher, more solidly, and more accurately than I ever dreamed possible. But after a round or two, I begin to backslide. Mainly, I start to lay the club off at the top [under the plane], then I flip at the ball, and it probably all begins with hands too low at address. As soon as I realize that a return to fundamentals is required and restore the above-mentioned right forearm positions, amazing ball-striking also is restored. Wow! I wish these positions became more habitual more quickly, but the night-and-day differences in my ball-striking make the journey worthwhile. -- JC

I'm still waiting for a golfer to insure their right forearm with Lloyds of London
